Malacañang denies alleged road harassment involving 'presidential son'
Malacañang has dismissed reports that a convoy involving a “presidential son” was allegedly harassed by other vehicles.
Per the Philippines News Agency, Presidential Communications Office Secretary Dave Gomez told reporters that there was "no such incident involving any presidential son."
Various social media posts claimed that at around 7:00 p.m., a "three-vehicle motorcade blocked the presidential son’s vehicle" and "an estimated 15 men" came out to harass the occupants.
The vehicles were reportedly registered to a municipality in Bulacan.
The incident was apparently caused by the supposed presidential son overtaking the Bulacan vehicles, which occupied all three lanes of the North Luzon Expressway.
The report further claimed that one of the 15 men stepped out carrying a firearm. As of writing, however, authorities have yet to issue a statement on the matter.
The identity of the presidential son has also not been named.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos have three sons: Joseph Simon, William Vincent, and Ilocos Norte 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos.
